Think of Should as a shovel… The more you’re “should-ing” yourself the deeper of a rut of disappointment you’re creating.  So instead what I’ve found to work, is to wait for that feeling of inspiration to start up your motors and jumpstart your way through your desires.  Which leads me to an obvious next question . . . How do we start up those motors?  Well in the years of being a Virgo problem solver and list maker of “Should’s” I’ve realized that shifting your environment seems to jump start your engines.  Think of it as jumper cables, we have a negative charge and we have a positive one.  Yet we also need to make sure we are grounded not to jolt the system.  Metaphorically speaking we can take our negative charge ie: a “Should” meaning…

modal verb: should (Negative Charge) used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone’s actions.

I don’t know about you but obligation, duty, or correctness, criticizing are all condemning words to me.   When we judge ourselves for what we “Should” have, do or feel is having some pretty harsh penalties on yourself.  Yet this negative charge just links us to our positive charge inspire . . . where we find the juice to motivate.

verb: inspire; (Positive Charge) fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.

Which means when we are inspired it’s coming from a place of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse.  That is breathed into our soul. (Also straight from dictionary).

So back to our jumper cable metaphor, we have our negative “Should” now and our positive “Inspire” now what we get what they do and have them hooked up to our soul ready to get our motivation jump, but there’s no SOURCE.  Exactly how do we hook up to the correct source that will charge us?  Well as we all know sometimes we go a bit overboard and hook up to an extreme source which overloads our system and burns out our soul battery.  Or other times we just can’t seem to find enough of a charge out of the source.   I suggest assessing your situation and see how much of a boost you need to get this motor running.  Sometimes we just need to change our environment and other times we need to completely decompress and unplug from society to recharge our soul completely.  Which you need to give yourself sufficient downtime.  So before you should yourself to spending a ton of money on motivational seminars and pressuring your body to perform physical extremes, check into a quick jump first.  I know from my own experience that when I take a step back and don’t panic that I’ll be left here on the side of the road of life.  Now I’m not afraid to ask for help and trust that the correct source for me will appear.  Just be careful not to cross the wires and get shocked.  Hee Hee.  Good luck out there. Go “Rev” up those engines and get a jumpstart on life!
